About this resource
South Africa is an intimate and incisive portrait of the Christmas Bands Movement in the Western Cape of South Africa. Drawing on her own on background as well as her research period during which she became a band member, Bruinders documents this centuries-old expressive practice through music by way of a social history of the coloured communities. She traces its development through colonialism and apartheid and into the era of democracy.
